    Lets see pics of your PALLET COOPS!

    I built my coop and hoop house run last winter. I have 6 birds.The coop is 90% pallets. The hoop run is cattle panels and hardware cloth. I can pull the coop around with my 4 wheeler.

    Rooster with small flock

    I have 5 hens and 1 rooster. They are a little over a year old. The rooster does a good job of watching over them. Last fall he was hopping up into a blueberry bush picking the blueberry's and giving them to the hens.

    How much trouble is a single comb in winter?

    I took a low voltage under water light for a kio pond and submerged it in my 5 gallon bucket watered. It seems to be working so far keeping the 4 nipples on the bottom from freezing. I ran the landscape lighting wire to my coop to run the light and other lights in the coop.

    Moving chicks to the coop

    Put them out. They will be fine. My temps are a lot colder up here and mine have been out in the coop without heat for about 2weeks now. They are about 6 weeks old.

    Getting my coop set up, would love a little guidance...

    Hang a 100 watt flood light in the coop and put the birds in. Lowes sells a red flood light that throws out good heat. Hang it low enough so they get warm when needed.

    Location of brooder

    If your coop is built raise them in there. Use the setup your putting on the porch only put it in the coop. A heat lamp is plenty warm enough. I raised mine out in my coop in march with a 100 watt flood light. I had many nights drop into the teens and they did fine.

    Too many chicks in one space?

    I'm in foster ri with the same temps your getting. I put my week old chicks in the coop on march 15th with a 100 watt flood light. They are about 6 weeks old now. If your coop is built put them out . That cant be good for them in that tiny space with that heat lamp.

    When do we move them outside?

    I would put them out. I raised my week old chicks outside in a coop with 100 watt light. They are about 6 weeks old now and doing great. Temps around here are cold again so I turned the flood light back on again at night but they don't seem to be staying under it.

    Working with Cattle Panels?

    Thanks neighbor! The pickup truck picture confirms what I HOPED might be possible. Did you find you had to tie the panels down, or did they stay in place? Great looking coop! I *wish* I needed 6'3" of head room, but sadly unless I'm cleaning the coop in a top hat, that would be overkill! :)...

    Espaliered fruit trees?

    Redstars This is how to haul the panels in a pickup. This hoop is made with 4 panels. 3 make the hoop and 1 cut up for end walls. 12' by 7' gives me about 6'3" of head room.I covered it in hardware cloth.
